Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: And she's on and she's at work on national television. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, good for her, but there's too much I think,
Speaker 1: maybe too much, just a little too much. I just
Speaker 1: half it.
Speaker 2: Okay, what would you do? Is that enough cleavage for you?
Speaker 2: Too much? What would you say? I don't get a vote?
Speaker 2: You do, I don't. I'm giving you one right now.
Speaker 2: I don't think this is not just try getting hot
Speaker 2: in here. Just a second ago. You could feel it.
Speaker 3: You get the sweat, like right here in the top
Speaker 3: of your back, like right therey. You're like, wait a minute,
Speaker 3: that's oh my god, that's funny. Trump is going to
Speaker 3: speak with Putin tomorrow as they continue to make efforts
Speaker 3: to end the war in Ukraine. Trump disclosed the upcoming
Speaker 3: conversation to reporters while he was on the Air Force
Speaker 3: one yesterday. The leaders in Macedonia North Macedonia are vowing
Speaker 3: to hold those responsible to account for a nightclub fire
Speaker 3: in the eastern town of Kosani that left fifty nine
Speaker 3: people dead and one hundred and fifty five people injured.
Speaker 3: Very strangely reminiscent of something that's happened in the United
Speaker 3: States before. This fire was sparked by stage fireworks, stage
Speaker 3: pyrotechnics during a live concert. Some of the people that
Speaker 3: were killed were as young as sixteen years old. So
Speaker 3: at the bottom of the hour, we're going to get
Speaker 3: more into more information about those astronauts finally coming back
Speaker 3: to Earth after they stranded is a word that's been
Speaker 3: used over and over again, stranded up there, but well,
Speaker 3: they actually moved it up a day because they're concerned
Speaker 3: about the weather conditions off the coast of Florida for Wednesday.
Speaker 1: It was eight years ago that Fabio Semintilley was dabbed
Speaker 1: death on the patio of his home in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 1: Fabio Semon Tilley was a Canadian hairstylist to great success,
Speaker 1: great celebrity executive of the German haircare giant called Wella.
Speaker 1: And he was stabbed and killed. So where do you
Speaker 1: look first? While you look in the home, don't you?
Speaker 1: And you would find a wife in the home. The
Speaker 1: wife is now on trial for the murder, this after
Speaker 1: her lover has already been convicted of the murder after
Speaker 1: more than fifty days of trial. This trial, prosecutors argue
Speaker 1: it was Monica, the wife, that was the mastermind of this,
Speaker 1: that got her lover to kill her husband to collect
Speaker 1: one point six million dollars in life insurance and avoid
Speaker 1: you know, the whole uh divorce, uh paperwork, the idea,
Speaker 1: why don't we just kill him? I never understand this.
Speaker 1: This is like my one big hurdle and it should be,
Speaker 1: is it? Because why don't you get a divorce? People
Speaker 1: are swayed by by TV and movie you're going to
Speaker 1: kill somebody, like you're to kill somebody instead of getting
Speaker 1: a divorce, especially in California.
Speaker 2: And this ain't freaking Yuba County. This is La.
Speaker 1: A divorce is as common as a Starbucks coffee on
Speaker 1: a Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Get a divorce County, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like, this isn't like rural where everyone's oh did you
Speaker 1: hear Sarah and Bill got a divorce?
Speaker 2: Nobody gives a crap. It doesn't come with the same
Speaker 2: negative connotation.
Speaker 1: Exactly, like just get it, like you're gonna I don't
Speaker 1: get it. But anyway, all right, So this guy is
Speaker 1: on trial and he's trying to he no, she is
Speaker 1: on trial. The wife is on trial, but the guy
Speaker 1: who's already been convicted of the murder is trying to
Speaker 1: help his ex lover out.
Speaker 2: He's trying to say she had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 2: It was all my idea.
Speaker 1: And so the prosecutor in this case, friend of the show,
Speaker 1: Beth Silverman, who you do not want to f with
Speaker 1: in a court of law or otherwise, because she will
Speaker 1: hold your testicles in the palm of her hand. She
Speaker 1: is going after this guy. Peze squeeze right.
Speaker 2: Just holds. I'm sorry, it's always the thread of squeezing
Speaker 2: in your testicles, got it.
Speaker 1: And she is interrogating this convicted murderer and she can
Speaker 1: do so do her heart's desire, because he's a convicted murderer.
Speaker 1: And so she's going through all of this evidence they
Speaker 1: have to show that he and the wife were in cahoots.
Speaker 1: This was a guy, by the way, that the wife
Speaker 1: picked up at west Hill's La Fitness. He was her
Speaker 1: racquetball coach, a former porn star and a convicted sex offender.
Speaker 2: That she's like, this guy will kill my husband. I
Speaker 2: love playing racquetball. Yeah, he needs a coach. How hard
Speaker 2: is it that you need a coach for racketball.
Speaker 1: You know how your wife has that pilates coach who's
Speaker 1: a male, and then the pool boy who's a male.
Speaker 1: Sometimes at a time in a woman's life they need
Speaker 1: a little help, so she hires this coaching.
Speaker 2: So this is is She.
Speaker 1: Has asked the attorney, the prosecutor this case, Attorney Beth's Silverman.
Speaker 1: She has pressed him on why this guy has uh
Speaker 1: provided multiple versions of the murder, including statements where he
Speaker 1: said we did it together essentially, and and how there
Speaker 1: was another person involved as well. Uh. Attorney Beth silver Silverman,
Speaker 1: the prosecutor has asked him on the stand, why on
Speaker 1: the day of the murder did you and Monica, the
Speaker 1: wife both delete the encrypted Viber app on your phones?
Speaker 2: And he says it was glitchy.
Speaker 1: Beth s Silverman goes on to say, why did she
Speaker 1: continue to send you naked photos wearing her wedding ring
Speaker 1: after her husband was murdered by you if she didn't
Speaker 1: have anything to do with it, And his response, everybody
Speaker 1: grieves differently.
Speaker 3: That's a great If you were in court and you
Speaker 3: heard him answer that with that, I laugh out.
Speaker 2: I want to be a laugh out. Loud moment.
Speaker 3: Yeah again. Robert Baker says he killed her. He killed
Speaker 3: the husband because he wanted Monica all to himself, right.
Speaker 3: The allegation is that she wanted the one point six
Speaker 3: million in life insurance and like you said earlier, not
Speaker 3: to go through the messiness of the divorce.
Speaker 1: The star witness in this case is a guy by
Speaker 1: the name of Christopher Austen. The other guy who was
Speaker 1: there when the hairstylist was killed, it was the lover,
Speaker 1: the porn star racketball coach lover, and this guy Christopher Austin.
Speaker 2: Who I think is a parole officer out of Oregon.
Speaker 1: Is yes, exactly, and those two, the parole officer help
Speaker 1: her killer and the porn star racketball coach lover, they
Speaker 1: took off in the dead guy's Porschoff.
Speaker 2: By the way as well.
Speaker 1: Now, this guy pleaded guilty to second degree murder and
Speaker 1: this death and he got sixteen years to life. So
Speaker 1: he is like the star witness, right, and he says
Speaker 1: that the stylus widow, this woman Monica, wanted him dead.
Speaker 1: He testified that he and the lover, the racketball coach,
Speaker 1: stabbed the hairstylist to death after the wife left the
Speaker 1: door open, left the door to the couple's house unlocked.
Speaker 2: They knew the layout.
Speaker 1: She knew that she would leave the door unlocked so
Speaker 1: they could get in and do the killing.
Speaker 2: That she wanted him gone.
Speaker 1: He testified and told him Christopher Austin that it was
Speaker 1: for the insurance money.
Speaker 2: This is dirty all around. It's got everything. How did
Speaker 2: they think they were going to get away with this?
Speaker 2: I had this little nugget because I came up in court.
Speaker 2: Is it about the semen and the toothpaste?
Speaker 3: Separated and behind bars? They continued their relationship through three
Speaker 3: way calls, using a third party number that connected them,
Speaker 3: and coded kite messages. Baker acknowledged that in one secret
Speaker 3: message sent to him in prison, Monica asked him to
Speaker 3: send her something personal of his Sheriff's deputies later seized
Speaker 3: a toothpaste tube that contained his seamen, and prosecutor said
Speaker 3: he intended to have it delivered to the defendant.
Speaker 1: Here's a fun tip, guys. If a woman asks you
Speaker 1: to send her something your spirit, it's probably not in
Speaker 1: her mind that she wants your seamen in a toothpaste tube.
Speaker 1: I don't think that crosses her mind when she says,
Speaker 1: send me something.
Speaker 3: Maybe she was very specific that that's what she wanted
Speaker 3: and he was just playing along.
Speaker 2: Classic dude, right, Oh, I know what she wants. I
Speaker 2: know what I'll give her. Hey, Bubba, you got an
Speaker 2: aqua fresh tube over there? You know we do. We
Speaker 2: should get beth on and when she's done with Estralla
Speaker 2: and have hern.
Speaker 1: This has got to be like a cup, like a
Speaker 1: chocolate cupcake with sprinkles on top for a prosecutor to
Speaker 1: get a case like this after all the long, boring
Speaker 1: stuff that you got to go through in your career
Speaker 1: to get a case like this with You've got semen
Speaker 1: and toothpaste. You've got a racquetball coach, former porn star,
Speaker 1: and a greedy wife who leaves the door open for
Speaker 1: her lover to stab and kill her husband who's a hairstylist.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, we'll clean this up. I have
Speaker 3: a surprise segment next, Oh, Parker Bird, what.
Speaker 2: Needs to be cleaned up? Oh? The toothpaste, all of it.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six.
Speaker 1: Forty somewhere when you're about twenty eight, and I think
Speaker 1: there's definitely a different set of rules for tan lines,
Speaker 1: like when you're young, when you're a teenager preteen like,
Speaker 1: tanlines are cool. They make you feel older, they make
Speaker 1: and then you get to a certain age where they
Speaker 1: just make you look older.
Speaker 2: And you don't want to look older anymore. That makes
Speaker 2: any sense.
Speaker 3: You're just going to add wrinkles to now to make
Speaker 3: myself look older too.
Speaker 1: It's you know what, This is not a conversation for you,
Speaker 1: so you shouldn't worry about it.
Speaker 2: I'm taking time. Listen, nobody cares what I think. You
Speaker 2: have teenage girls in your home and it's very foreign
Speaker 2: to you. You can't just throw that out there.
Speaker 3: They voluntarily came into my house and they can leave
Speaker 3: any time they want. My sister in law and a
Speaker 3: couple of nieces are in my house.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 3: I hope, God, I know, but someone's going to take
Speaker 3: it out of context.
Speaker 2: That guy got girls up in his house.
Speaker 5: This ain't you the county. The voice in la is
Speaker 5: just as common as a cup of Starbucks coffee. That
Speaker 5: ish is funny. I love y'all, man, Thank you, y'all
Speaker 5: make my day.
Speaker 2: Sometimes. Christ from Seattle, Thanks Christ. Sometimes only sometimes.
Speaker 3: Do you know Jeffrey Parker. Bird doesn't ring a bell,
Speaker 3: wouldn't ring a bell? Jeffrey park Or, bird goes by.
Speaker 3: Parker is one of the Sian Nope, one of the
Speaker 3: top baseball prospects in all of North Carolina.
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: Amazing high school player three I think something thirty one hits,
Speaker 3: twenty seven RBIs twenty one run scored in the senior season,
Speaker 3: he gets recruited to play at Eastern Carolina University.
Speaker 2: As a middle infielder, switch hitter.
Speaker 3: Great, great kid, great prospect. Summer before he starts at
Speaker 3: ECU to become a pirate, he and some other guys
Speaker 3: on the baseball team party.
Speaker 2: Out on a boat.
Speaker 3: Something happens, an accident, He loses his leg, has to
Speaker 3: be amputated.
Speaker 2: Why did I know there was a limbab missing?
Speaker 3: The coaches said, we promised you that you could come
Speaker 3: to ECU and play baseball. Wow, So whenever you're ready,
Speaker 3: you can come play baseball.
Speaker 2: Okay. So when was the accident twenty summer of twenty three? Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: and so now what So.
Speaker 3: This year he's finally been able to come back. He
Speaker 3: has a prosthetic leg and he is one of I
Speaker 3: believe two Division I Baseball players to play with a
Speaker 3: prosthetic leg.
Speaker 2: He uh, what position does he play? Same position? He
Speaker 2: hasn't played in the field yet. He's come in as
Speaker 2: a pinch hitter.
Speaker 1: Okay, I he could play first, so he has a
Speaker 1: sound short It would be tough play wherever he wants to.
Speaker 3: But he was a switch hitter and had to teach
Speaker 3: himself simply to bat right hand. Not that he didn't
Speaker 3: bat right handed before, but now that's basically all he can.
Speaker 2: Do is bat right handed, just because of the balance.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 3: Sure, So over the weekend, Friday night, specifically, he comes
Speaker 3: into the game. They're crushing I think it's like eleven
Speaker 3: to nothing and he comes up. He had hit a
Speaker 3: sacrifice fly in an earlier at bat. Last week, he
Speaker 3: had a walk in another at bat, not officially, but
Speaker 3: it was a plate appearance.
Speaker 2: So this is him in the game Friday night.
Speaker 5: It's got to give you chills every time, coach, Yes.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, even the people in the jungle who were sitting
Speaker 3: all up.
Speaker 5: First bitch swinging hard on the ground and eats up Laskowski.
Speaker 2: Bird breaches first on the hard.
Speaker 4: Hit single, his first RBI on Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Now looking at his first collegiate hit. Tonight, our pole
Speaker 2: was leased at the Third Basement speak it really will.
Speaker 3: His first official bass hit as a Division one baseball player.
Speaker 3: That is very calm after having lost his leg, and
Speaker 3: again he credits his coaches for sticking around with him
Speaker 3: and giving him the opportunity to play despite his obvious
Speaker 3: physical impairment. I don't know if he'll ever playing the field,
Speaker 3: but they took him out for a pinch runner pretty quickly.
Speaker 2: But he said post game that he was super happy
Speaker 2: get my first hit. I mean, I know it's coming.
Speaker 1: I mean I worked really hard because it's been also
Speaker 1: about you know, working with PT and everything that going
Speaker 1: fort here.
Speaker 5: It's just a testament to thank you.
Speaker 2: Good Wow. His parents were in the in the stadium
Speaker 2: to watch him hit. That's beautiful. I mean, didn't it
Speaker 2: wasn't a tear jerker, meant to be a tier jerker.
Speaker 1: But maybe if somebody in the family had died the
Speaker 1: night before. Listen, the bar has been set real high,
Speaker 1: and just missing a leg doesn't do it for me anymore.
Speaker 2: You're so dead inside. When we come back.
Speaker 3: The latest on our Astronauts finally coming back to earth.
Speaker 3: Their time schedule has been moved up a little bit.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about one. We can expect Butcher and Sonny
Speaker 3: and a couple of friends coming back to the.
Speaker 2: Who doesn't think about that movie? Which movie?
Speaker 6: Punch?
Speaker 2: Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid. I didn't until you
Speaker 2: said that.
Speaker 1: That's the one where they ride around on bicycles, right,
Speaker 1: Paul Newman and the other hot guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the other hot guy. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Gary and Shannon will continue. Deborah, you got to stop
Speaker 3: these earthquakes.
Speaker 1: I know, Deborah, what the hell is going on? I
Speaker 1: literally blame you for each of these.
Speaker 2: Let's get Lucy on the line and say Lucy, what
Speaker 2: the heck is when you stop taking your calls months ago?
Speaker 2: Tell her to turn off her earthquake machine.
Speaker 5: Every week.
Speaker 1: Amy tried to get her on her show, and she's like, no,
Speaker 1: you work with Deborah Mark, not today.
Speaker 2: Number.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Gary and Shannon KFI AM six forty live everywhere on
Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio app. Very very early tomorrow morning, three o'clock
Speaker 3: hour time is when the Dodgers will kick off the
Speaker 3: regular season. They are taken on the Cubs for a
Speaker 3: couple of games over in Tokyo. The Dodgers will open
Speaker 3: the season without Mookie Betts. They said he's been suffering
Speaker 3: from an unspecified virus for the last week and has
Speaker 3: lost close to fifteen pounds as a result.
Speaker 1: Coming up, we have an update on the Gene Hackman
Speaker 1: and his wife, Betsy Arakawa death story. It turns out
Speaker 1: that there are new death timeline details, a fight over money,
Speaker 1: and a concierge medicine company has entered the chat as well.
Speaker 2: We'll get into that and we're looking for updates.
Speaker 3: But at least forty people more than forty people killed
Speaker 3: among more than nine hundred and seventy severe storm reports
Speaker 3: across more than two dozen states over the weekend three
Speaker 3: day torn out tornado outbreak that tore through at least
Speaker 3: nine different states, twelve people killed in tornadoes, and Missouri
Speaker 3: or Missouri, depending on where you are. EF two tornado
Speaker 3: that tore through Mississippi with wind speeds up to one
Speaker 3: hundred and eleven miles per hour killed at least three
Speaker 3: people a bunch of these places. No deaths reported at
Speaker 3: an RV resort in Paradise Ranch, but the entire thing
Speaker 3: is completely wiped off the face of the Earth.
Speaker 1: Well, they've been at the International Space Station for ten
Speaker 1: months now, the crew of the doomed Boeing Starliner spacecraft
Speaker 1: are going to make their long awaited return to Earth.
Speaker 1: NASA astronauts Butch will Moore and Sudy Williams Sunny Williams
Speaker 1: arrived at the International Space Station in June. Their stay
Speaker 1: was just to be ten days. It was part of
Speaker 1: Boeing's first crude flight tesk for Starliner. However, it did
Speaker 1: not go well. Multiple helium leaks, propulsion system issues were
Speaker 1: a foot, so it returned empty in New Mexico, not
Speaker 1: suitable for human flight. So now SpaceX launched its Dragon
Speaker 1: capsule Friday afternoon with its four crew ten members aboard,
Speaker 1: and they were scheduled to dock over the weekend, and
Speaker 1: these two are going to return on a separate Dragon
Speaker 1: spacecraft already ducked at the station and they are due
Speaker 1: to be back Wednesday.
Speaker 3: So the plan now has been moved up a little
Speaker 3: bit though, because there is going to be some bad
Speaker 3: weather and potentially some heavy seas off the coast of
Speaker 3: Florida on Wednesday. Jose Hernandez is a former NASA astronaut
Speaker 3: said they moved it up to try to get them
Speaker 3: home by tomorrow afternoon.
Speaker 6: They want very favorable wave conditions because the last thing
Speaker 6: you want to do after you've been up in space
Speaker 6: for nine months is to be a long time with
Speaker 6: high waves and you get in seasick.
Speaker 2: That would be awful.
Speaker 3: Now, the plan, according to the latest report, the plan
Speaker 3: is that they will climb aboard this capsule tonight and
Speaker 3: again this is the Crew nine capsule that's been there
Speaker 3: for a while. They'll climb in tonight at about ten
Speaker 3: forty five Florida time, undocked from the orbiting laboratory in
Speaker 3: the middle of the night, and that would set up
Speaker 3: a splash down just before six o'clock Florida time tomorrow night.
Speaker 3: Of course, they're going to continue to monitor the weather
Speaker 3: the health of the spacecraft before they proceed with the
Speaker 3: with the flight home, so there's still plenty of stuff
Speaker 3: to work out.
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, this is Mike from Texas. So tomorrow those
Speaker 7: stranded astronauts that were supposed to be up for eight
Speaker 7: days or finally coming home, they've been up for what
Speaker 7: eight months? Do they get overtime? And could they sue
Speaker 7: for the overtime seems like they should be able to.
Speaker 3: So I saw this, I've seen this question asked before.
Speaker 3: A former NASA astronaut, Katie Coleman, talked to a newspaper
Speaker 3: and explain astronauts get their standard salary without overtime, but
Speaker 3: that they do get a small daily bump for incidentals
Speaker 3: that they would be legally obligated to pay you that
Speaker 3: the government would so for For Katie Coleman, for example,
Speaker 3: it amounted to about four dollars a day. She was
Speaker 3: in space in the International Space Station for one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty nine days and received about six hundred and
Speaker 3: thirty six dollars in incidental pay. And if that same
Speaker 3: formula is used for Butch and Sunny, they've spent about
Speaker 3: two hundred and eighty seven I think two hundred and
Speaker 3: eighty eight days in space, they would earn about eleven
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars each in additional allowance.
Speaker 1: You think you'd get more than just comparable to jury service,
Speaker 1: especially what happens to your body? They say, from your eyesight,
Speaker 1: to your skin and bones to your heart. Of course
Speaker 1: they sign up for the their job, but still they
Speaker 1: say upon arrival into space. Studies showed that up to
Speaker 1: eighty percent of astronauts experience motion sickness for the first
Speaker 1: two to three days.
Speaker 2: Because you know gravity and the lack thereof.
Speaker 1: They say humans have the system, the vestibular vestibular vestibular
Speaker 1: vestibular system in our inner ear, which helps us keep
Speaker 1: us balance.
Speaker 2: That's why when that's off, you have that vertigo feeling.
Speaker 1: But in the low gravity of space, the way in
Speaker 1: which the system sends signals to the brain will change,
Speaker 1: which is confusing to your brain and causes the nausea
Speaker 1: and the vertigo.
Speaker 2: That makes me dizzy thinking about that.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 2: Let's see here.
Speaker 1: Without gravity, bone density and muscles weaken and break down.
Speaker 1: Bone tissue is reabsorbed by the body, with bones becoming
Speaker 1: one percent less dense for every month spent in space.
Speaker 1: The heart and the muscles can shrink over time because
Speaker 1: less force is exhorted exerted on muscles so they don't
Speaker 1: have to work. Studies have shown that up to a
Speaker 1: twenty four percent loss in calf muscle after more than
Speaker 1: one hundred days in space. Twenty four percent is huge.
Speaker 2: Don't skip leg day in space, man.
Speaker 1: That's why they do resistance and endurance training from two
Speaker 1: hours a day in space. I read this morning by
Speaker 1: the way that resistance training can help you develop new
Speaker 1: brain cells using weights, resistance spans, things like that they help.
Speaker 1: That's one of the ways as you age to develop
Speaker 1: new brain cells, as opposed to killing them.
Speaker 2: By eyesight too.
Speaker 1: Eye sight, a build up of fluid causes the eyeballs
Speaker 1: to change shape, leading some astronauts to need glasses or
Speaker 1: contacts to correct their vision.
Speaker 2: Wow, and then that becomes a permanent thing. Right.
Speaker 3: We know that Butcher and Sunny have been up there,
Speaker 3: like I said, two hundred and eighty eight days. That
Speaker 3: adds to their totals, so obviously they They are on
Speaker 3: the list of astronauts. At least American astronauts that have
Speaker 3: spent some of the most time in space. Sonny Williams
Speaker 3: will because she's been up there twice before, she will
Speaker 3: move up to number two on the list of most
Speaker 3: experienced American astronauts with about five hundred seventy days in
Speaker 3: space overall.
Speaker 1: They said that recovering from your time in space is
Speaker 1: like recovering from a relationship. It takes you just as
Speaker 1: long as you were in space to recover back here,
Speaker 1: and have you heard about baby feet?
Speaker 2: One of the effects baby feet?
Speaker 1: Baby feet? No, because you're not walking on things.
Speaker 2: Oh no, you have soft little baby feet.
Speaker 1: You have the condition known as baby feet, where the
Speaker 1: soles of the feet become too soft to walk on
Speaker 1: after months in space. So you're a little you got
Speaker 1: a little baby feet and they just have to just
Speaker 1: like you're like a little seal for a while.
Speaker 3: Do people do that with their feet when they're babies. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I've never seen that.
Speaker 2: You haven't seen that. How come you haven't thrown a
Speaker 2: party at your house lately? Parking? Parking, that's your excuse. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's tricky.
Speaker 3: Well, there was an article that suggests that parties may
Speaker 3: be dead. I mean, champagne sales are down, party city
Speaker 3: has clased.
Speaker 2: That's because I stopped drinking. There is that too.
Speaker 4: Gary, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM. Six forty.
Speaker 3: Three months into his second term, President Trump has hit
Speaker 3: his highest approval rating ever in an NBC News poll,
Speaker 3: which isn't saying it's great, but more Americans say the
Speaker 3: country's on the right track than at any point since
Speaker 3: two thousand and four. This NBC News poll that was
Speaker 3: released over the weekend. Trump still has not won over
Speaker 3: a majority of Americans. Fifty four percent say they disapprove
Speaker 3: of his handling of the economy. That's the first time
Speaker 3: that he lost a majority on that When it comes
Speaker 3: to that poll from NBC, consumers saw a slower than
Speaker 3: expected spending pace last month, some underlying readings that indicated
Speaker 3: the sales still grew at a solid pace. Retail sales
Speaker 3: increased two tenths of a percent on the month, better
Speaker 3: than the decline the prior month, but below the estimate.
Speaker 3: Commerce Department also said the sales number suggusted for seasonal factors,
Speaker 3: but not for inflation.
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, I think it's kind of messed up on.
Speaker 8: Gary kind of laughed at the fact that multi best
Speaker 8: cross fifteen pounds. What if you have something serious? I
Speaker 8: bet you would have liked that if that happened to you,
Speaker 8: what would you? Yeah, forehead more on.
Speaker 2: Big forehead, moron. You weren't laughing. It wasn't laughing.
Speaker 3: I wasn't laughing at the humor of a guy being sick.
Speaker 3: It was a laugh of a stun stunned nature that
Speaker 3: an athlete like that could lose fifteen pounds because of
Speaker 3: an illness.
Speaker 1: When I think back on that conversation we had, I
Speaker 1: don't think of you laughing. I think you were like
Speaker 1: very serioeriously concerned, like that's really rare for an athlete
Speaker 1: to lose.
Speaker 2: That, and the idea that they're going to send him
Speaker 2: home because he's that sick. Yeah, that's not good. Hey,
Speaker 2: Gary and Shannon Katie here loving the show.
Speaker 5: But you know, I'm one of your older listeners, and
Speaker 5: I'm confused.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 7: Is it Jackie and Shadow in the space capsule.
Speaker 2: Capsule and stop drinking, Sonny and Share.
Speaker 5: On the nest?
Speaker 2: Or is it Sonny and Butch in the nest? I'm
Speaker 2: just really confused. You could be specific when you speaking
Speaker 2: of this pino.
Speaker 1: You gotta mixed up a good pino gree shardonay. Who
Speaker 1: cares if they're in the nest or the capsule?
Speaker 2: Am I right?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: No, But she's right. It does get confusing with all
Speaker 2: the names.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sonny and what's that guy's name?
Speaker 2: Butch?
Speaker 1: Butch are the astronauts and Jackie and Shadow or the Eagles,
Speaker 1: and then Amy King is named the Eglets.
Speaker 2: One of which has since passed.
Speaker 1: We don't really Amy has this fan fiction that it's
Speaker 1: the biggest eglet that died potentially or she's heard that.
Speaker 1: She didn't seem to rule it out, did she. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she named them Brutus, Dora the Explorer, and Rocky from
Speaker 1: big to small. And there's this theory that maybe Brutus
Speaker 1: died was the eglet that died and has since been
Speaker 1: picked out of the nest. Over the weekend, we have
Speaker 1: a coworker who said that they're referring to Jackie as
Speaker 1: Casey Anthony, which I think is entirely unfair.
Speaker 3: Awful, uncalled for. Party City closed. Party City closed, going
Speaker 3: out of business.
Speaker 1: I went to Party City in the recent years and
Speaker 1: I remember what for, and it was really depressing. It
Speaker 1: was empty shelves, a ghost town, a lot of space
Speaker 1: and nobody in there.
Speaker 2: It was eerie. We used to get all our party
Speaker 2: balloons from Party City. That was our that was our
Speaker 2: go to. Yeah, for the keything else probably yes, always
Speaker 2: for the kids. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: They did a nice job there of you know, your
Speaker 1: kids turn in ten. You go to the aisle, there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff for kid turning ten.
Speaker 3: Champagne sales are down. This is long before any talk
Speaker 3: of tariffs on European alcohol products, and there is a
Speaker 3: feeling that since COVID, among other things, we just don't
Speaker 3: have parties anymore. And there are anecdotes about like Grandma
Speaker 3: and Grandpa would throw a party for people in the
Speaker 3: neighborhood on two hours notice. Grandma would be able to
Speaker 3: cook up food for twenty four people in three hours
Speaker 3: with no right, no lead time, and we just.
Speaker 2: Don't do that. What do you think it is? Part
Speaker 2: of it is our phones.
Speaker 3: You know, you can easily communicate with people, a lot
Speaker 3: of people at once.
Speaker 2: You can do a text chain.
Speaker 1: To communicate with people. Are you just on your phone
Speaker 1: in lieu of communicating with people?
Speaker 3: But we do so many things now, We do so
Speaker 3: many things without interacting with other people. For example, I
Speaker 3: don't go to the gym anymore. If I'm going to
Speaker 3: work out, I'm going to work out at home now,
Speaker 3: not when I was at It's not to say that
Speaker 3: when I was at the gym, I was the social
Speaker 3: butterfly and high five in people at hey double gun
Speaker 3: and the guy, hey, you're doing great on that squat
Speaker 3: rag buddy?
Speaker 8: Was it?
Speaker 3: That's not who I was. Aay trouble, but I'm but
Speaker 3: I but I don't go to the gym anymore. You
Speaker 3: can now grocery shop without going to the grocery store.
Speaker 3: You can get everything from Costco you want by ordering
Speaker 3: it online. You don't have to do those things that
Speaker 3: are that require social interaction as much as we did
Speaker 3: even five years ago.
Speaker 2: I needed a sauce pan, okay, and I went to
Speaker 2: Target yesterday. Great way to start a story. I know.
Speaker 1: It's this is why we need parties to spice things
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Otherwise your stories start with I
Speaker 1: needed a sauce pan.
Speaker 2: To practice that muscle.
Speaker 1: I tried to not shop local, but local, more local
Speaker 1: than Jeff Bezos and Amazon.
Speaker 2: What do you mean you try not to shop local?
Speaker 2: I tried to shop try too.
Speaker 1: Not that I was because it's Target, but anyway, So
Speaker 1: I go to Target to find a saucepan.
Speaker 2: The saucepans that there's no selection.
Speaker 1: There's like one saucepan, and it's way of a price
Speaker 1: for a saucepan.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, why am I even doing it?
Speaker 1: I look on Amazon there's seventy five different saucepans I
Speaker 1: can choose from for half the price.
Speaker 2: I'm like, why do I go to stores.
Speaker 1: Conversely, I was at a yoga class over the weekend,
Speaker 1: local and thinking, God, I love going to class with
Speaker 1: people because I too, during the pandemic, fell into the
Speaker 1: Peloton thing and then working out at home and doing
Speaker 1: the Peloton videos and the Peloton outdoor runs and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. I really love going to a class with
Speaker 1: real people and just feeding off the energy there's just there.
Speaker 2: It's completely different for me. It's very necessary for me.
Speaker 1: I think I can do both, but I need to
Speaker 1: go somewhere where I can have other people's energy when
Speaker 1: you're working out.
Speaker 3: There's two things that are at play that I think
Speaker 3: are unhealthy for us. Number one is we have now
Speaker 3: a lot of us come to the place where you
Speaker 3: can think of a thing that you need to buy.
Speaker 3: Over the weekend, I thought to myself, I need to
Speaker 3: get some replacement razors, and I thought, there's two ways
Speaker 3: I can do this. I could go to the store
Speaker 3: that's maybe two miles away and get I can even
Speaker 3: stop on the way home from work and pick up
Speaker 3: a box of razors or whatever. Or I could just
Speaker 3: order them online. Now that mentality of I could just
Speaker 3: order it online and it'll be here right away is
Speaker 3: so anathema to us having any sort of social life.
Speaker 1: Here's what I don't want to have happened. Well, can
Speaker 1: we come back and finish this. We're very late, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's a very important thing and it involves your
Speaker 1: super Bowl party and something I didn't like, which is
Speaker 1: why I don't want to go to parties.
Speaker 2: Has nothing to do with you or your party, just
Speaker 2: something that happened. You're careful because.
Speaker 3: I don't think I told you your invitation is on
Speaker 3: shaky ground because of what happened at the last one.
Speaker 2: Well, we know the forty nine ers aren't going to
Speaker 2: be in it. Gary and Shannon, we'll continue right after this.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3: You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
Speaker 3: forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
Speaker 3: and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio Lab.
